In the opinion of the essaylst, the demo
cratic party holds the trump cards in the
game for the succession next fall. The adj.
ministration has appealed to the business
interests Of the country in clean and direct
manner; it controls the house of represen-
tatives, and is in position 10 comply with
the memorable demand for q reduction of
taxation and for business like disposition
of the surplus; and is possessed of can
didate who will be renominated without
contest.
On the other hand, the Republicans have
but one candidate; Blaine, on whom there
appears to have fallen, with the genius and
renown, also the fatality Of Henry Clay"
their policy is unsettled and uncertain
Sherman talks one way in Tennessee and
another in Illinois, while Foraker and
his following founder like those who have
nothing to lose and everything to gain.

yet the tariff bill that will be passed Will
embrace none of the radical features the
republicans so glibly foretell and so glee-
fully anticipate
There is one issue, however, on which the
republicans may fairly be said to be agreed,
and that is, that ain the folds of the bloody
shirt one more president is enwrapped."
That issue, obsolete as it is, may be looked
for as the "oriilame of repubiicanism." 1t

The Lost Arts.

What were the lost arts? d. L.
All we know of them is by indications Of
their practice, which we find in works that
have survived decay. OF their number only
few can be mentioned in our brief space.
The ancient Egyptians, Phenicians and
Romans had knowledge Of some things in
chemistry which we do not possess. Such as
to make malleable glass; They also knew
how to color and guild glass by a process un-
known to us. Bronze and copper were tenn
pered to the hardness Of STEEL and of this the
Egyptians made their edged tools. Paints
were mixed, whose colors were imperishable;
at least they have existed fresh for 1900
years At Damascus they made blades Of
steel which could be bent into a circle and
would fly back into perfect line. Neither
this nor the gold tracery in their steel can we
initiate to-day. We do not know how Kings
Rameses and Thotmes transported monoliths
and elevated them on to the Pyramids;
though VIC could do the same to-day by other
processes. Artisans and chemists have in vain
tried to reproduce iridescent glass which
archaologists have brought to light This
does not complete the catalogue, but it is
enough to show that the ancients were by no
means unskilled.
